"Certainly one of top US NP. It's located some 10-15 min drive north from downtown. I won't write here how amazing it is, as many already did that and there's nothing I'd add. Instead, I give some tips from our preparing for the trip, as well from our ground experience: - Arches NP is one of few requiring time slot to enter. You can reserve your slot at Recreation website months in advance, - I suggest doing that as soon as you know your visiting date, - I strongly suggest reserving the very first morning slot 7-8 AM, - This will benefit you not waiting in long lines to enter the park gates, - Furthermore you won't have to wait at parking lots for someone to leave to park, - Once inside, around 7.15 AM drive directly to the main star - Delicate Arch. It's around the middle of the Scenic loop drive. At this time there're very few people while later you'll wait significantly just to park, - If you want to hike to the Delicate Arch have in mind you need minimum 2,5 hours - one hour to get to it, another to go back and at least half an hour to spend there. Hike is easy to medium with some narrow parts you need extra care for, - If you don't want to hike, drive a mile further to Lower Delicate Arch viewpoint. The Arch is visible from this point, however in a distance and looks tiny. For much better experience there's a short 10-15 min hike from there to the Upper viewpoint from where the view is fantastic with spectacular scenery around - maybe even better than from the Arch itself, - After visiting the Arch with not so many people at this time you can now easily cover the rest of NP, - I suggest first driving up to the furthest point for the Landscape and Double O Arch, - After that you can drive easily back visiting others - note there are over 2000 arches in the NP, - Must visit are: Sand Dune Arch, Double and Turret Arch, Windows Arches, Balanced Rock, Great Wall, Park Avenue,... - Have plenty of water, sunscreen and hat with you, - We spent around 7 hours in the park and covered all main attractions with short and easy hikes. If you're more to hiking and exploring you can easily spend entire day or even two days."

"To me this is one of three must-see areas in Arches NP (along with windows/double arch and fiery furnace). This is a decent-length trail meandering through a rock valley, but along the trail there are 7 different arches you can see. The entire loop trail is about 8 miles, and the back sections (double-O, private arches) are quite rocky and difficult. The first section, encompassing landscape, tunnel and pine arches, is moderately easy. Even if you just take this shorter section, you still have a nice selection of arches to see in one stop. Unlike some of the areas for other arches in the park, there is plentiful parking here."
Funding for the 2014 Religious Landscape Study comes from The Pew Charitable Trusts, which received generous support for the project from Lilly Endowment Inc. While the analysis was guided by our consultations with the advisers, the Pew Research Center is solely responsible for the interpretation and reporting of the data.
Estimates from 2007 and 2014 come from Pew Research Center’s Religious Landscape Studies, which surveyed roughly 35,000 U.S. adults via telephone each year. All other estimates from 2019 and earlier come from other random-digit-dial telephone surveys, mostly the Center’s political surveys. All data is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity ...
The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade.
The Landscape Survey confirms the close link between Americans’ religious affiliation, beliefs and practices, on the one hand, and their social and political attitudes, on the other. Indeed, the survey demonstrates that the social and political fault lines in American society run through, as well as alongside, religious traditions.

Note: The “Protestant” figures from the Religious Landscape Studies may differ slightly from previously published reports because they include Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Scientists so as to make the “Protestant” category as similar as possible to the aggregated political surveys. In the Religious Landscape Study reports, Jehovah’s Witnesses are categorized as a separate ...
The Changing Global Religious Landscape Babies born to Muslims will begin to outnumber Christian births by 2035; people with no religion face a birth dearth More babies were born to Christian mothers than to members of any other religion in recent years, reflecting Christianity’s continued status as the world’s largest religious group.
